Looks just like my AW 2200mah. hologram and all, spec's say 10a. my 2200mah is rated 20a. Got a few from RTD, all real.

I have a few AW batts and the recycle symbol is outlined, not solid black like the ones shown at RTD Vapor. Yours could be a counterfeit. Who did you buy it from?

got mine from kidney puncher over 2 years ago and they look like the battery in her photo...
not sure why anyone would counterfeit a 10 amp AW battery when the craze is for 20A and greater...
i believe she is good to use her battery

as far as I know the recycle symbol is just supposed to be outlined and not filled in...that's the way it is on all my authentic AW's...Also the "RoHS" is mis alligned. The center line of the "R" should line up with the center line of the "E" in the C E symbol....it could just be different batches but on all of my new AW's with the hologram sticker that seems consistent across all of them....of all sizes....sorry to say but I don't think it's the real thing...they might be but I just bought some of the newer ones and I have some from when they first started putting the hologram stickers on and they're all consistent across all sizes from 18650 down to my little 14500's for my Nemi

I forgot completely about this thread. Sorry
If the recycling symbol is not outlined, it's a fake. This has been discussed endlessly on that other big fat forum.
I stopped buying aw because it's almost impossible to know if you're getting the real deal.
Same goes for Sony vtc 4 nowadays.
I'm only buying samsung 25R for that sole reason and will probably change once they start counterfeiting then too.

Thanks! Yeah, its gotten pretty ridiculous hasn't it? As long as a battery works great and does its job...I'm happy. I will look into those Samsung batts
